If only that were true - back in the day we joined the EEC which was an economic community designed to achieve what you have described - unfortunately it became more political, less representative, more invasive and developed into a massive gravy train which is not what a lot of people who originally voted IN wanted hence the majority of the current NO voters are of the older generation. So it appears that there are many people who do not want to "remain in the EU under their cosh and jurisdiction" because that is what they see happening.
